We have decided to change Thursdays up every once in awhile. Today we have Tasty Thursday. On Tasty Thursdays, I’ll post one of my favorite recipes that I’ve created or tweaked and I encourage you to Try it for yourself!!!

My husband and I were given a gift card to PF Chang’s for Christmas and were finally able to go on a date! We loved the infamous lettuce wraps, so I came home and made my own version. Of course, you can tweak it to your liking, but this is now one of our new favorite meals!!! As you know my photo skills are not the best, inspite of having a professional photographer for a father in law, but you get the gist;)

In the meantime, wash butter leaves individually and pat dry with a paper towel

Add nuts and sesame seeds to skillet

To serve, spoon about ¼ c. of chicken and veggies onto the middle of a butter lettuce leaf, wrap up like a taco and enjoy!

Notes

*You can add hot mustard and soy sauce to your lettuce leaf before wrapping or make a dipping sauce with hot mustard and soy sauce. Unsweetened chili sauce would be a good addition as well;)

Up next week for Throwdown Thursday: Our favorite spring salads- We encourage you to participate and make your favorite salad recipe and share it. We’d be happy to feature it on our blog or link it up to your blog;)

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger and aminos and add to pan, and then immediately add the sliced cabbage and stir.

Cook for a few minutes, stirring often, so that it doesn't burn and so all cabbage slightly wilts and reduces in size.

Then add shredded carrots and cook for another few minutes.

Turn off heat, add chopped green onions, salt and black pepper to taste, stir one last time and serve warm.

Same great taste you’ll get in an eggroll, minus the deep fried wrapper, so MUCH healthier!

Notes

To make it E: Use extra lean meat instead (like 99% lean ground turkey, or skinless chicken breast - ground, chopped, or shredded) and because of the lack of juiciness (fat) from the meat, add ¼ cup of fat-free chicken stock (or water). To make it E: You may want to also add a bit more of the aminos and ginger, and feel free to add extra carrots too! Serve over brown rice. To make it FP: Use extra lean meat instead (like 99% lean ground turkey, or skinless chicken breast - ground, chopped, or shredded) and because of the lack of juiciness (fat) from the meat, add ¼ cup of fat-free chicken stock (or water). You may want to also add a bit more of the aminos and ginger. However, with the above said, it's by far best as S using ground pork (not sausage!) or ground beef. ENJOY!
